Telling the Stories of the Many and the One

I Am Only One

“I think the whole theme of, ‘I’m only one,’ is really important because with every big movement, with every big business or anything that became a success, it always started from one person.

It just took one person to take on to that story and look at their own.

I’m a big believer that if you tell one story to one person, it just becomes another story. But if you tell one story to a thousand people, it becomes a thousand different stories. It all depends on what they draw from that story that helps them look at their own life and wanna act out in a certain way.

When it comes down to me just being one and why I’m standing up being like, ‘This is what I believe in, this is what I think could help our people, this is what I think could help Hawaii itself,’ is because I believe that everybody should be able to stand up and do the same thing.

And I think that’s where a lot of people need to look within themselves and ask, ‘Who am I, why am I here, and what am I gonna do with it?’ A lot of people give up too soon and I think there’s so much potential in people. That that’s why they have to stand up and be kū.”
